PREFACE. 


THE  following  pages  contain  a  selection  of  patterns 
adapted  to  almost  every  purpose  to  which  the  art  of 
Crochet  is  applicable, — whether  as  an  useful  or  a 
decorative  species  of  work.  Many  of  the  designs 
have  been  expressly  composed  for  this  little  treatise ; 
others  have  been  selected,  as  being  very  effective, 
from  the  chapter  on  Crochet  in  "  THE  HAND-BOOK 
OF  NEEDLEWORK  ;"  but  the  designs  that  have  been 
taken  from  the  latter  have  been  re-engraved. 

In  the  directions  for  working  the  several  designs, 
the  plan  pursued  by  the  writer  (and  apparently  with 
success)  in  her  books  on  Knitting,  has  been  adopted. 
.She  has  aimed  at  simplicity,  and  the  use  of  as  few 
words  as  possible,  consistent  with  a  clear  explanation 
of  the  subject.

ROCHET, — a  species  of  knitting 
originally  practised  by  the  peasants 
in  Scotland,  with  a  small  hooked 
needle  called  a  shepherd's  hook, — 
aided  by  taste  and  fashion,  has,  with- 
in the  last  seven  years,  obtained  the  pre- 
ference over  all  other  ornamental  works 
of  a  similar  nature.  It  derives  its  present 
name  from  the  French ;  the  instrument 
with  which  it  is  worked  being  by  them,  from 
its  crooked  shape,  termed  "crochet."  This 


10  MISS  LAMBERT'S 


art  has  attained  its  highest  degree  of  perfection 
in  England,  whence  it  has  been  transplanted 
to  France  and  Germany,  and  both  these  coun- 
tries, although  unjustifiably,  have  claimed  the 
invention.  Crochet  has  been  applied,  with 
considerable  success,  to  the  production  of  nu- 
merous useful  and  decorative  articles,  such  as 
shawls,  table-covers,  couvre-pieds,  pillows,  ot- 
tomans, chairs,  rugs,  slippers,  bags,  cabats, 
purses,  caps,  waistcoats,  and  the  like.  Silk, 
wool,  cotton,  chenille,  and  gold,  are  all  suitable 
materials  for  this  description  of  work,  but  the 
purpose  for  which  it  is  intended  must  necessa- 
rily determine  their  choice. 

Crochet  has  the  recommendation  of  being  a 
less  intricate  method  of  working  than  knitting, 
and  therefore  claims  a  more  extensive  cultiva- 
tion than  perhaps  it  has  hitherto  met  with.  It 
is  particularly  adapted  for  making  articles  for 
charitable  purposes  ;  hence,  the  instruction  of 
children  in  blind  schools,  in  this  easy  and  use- 


CROCHET  SAMPLER.  11 

ful  art,  is  well  worthy  the  attention  of  phi- 
lanthropists. Waistcoats,  shawls,  knee-caps, 
sleeves,  comforters,  mittens,  gloves,  etc.,  may 
be  made,  without  difficulty,  in  crochet.  It  has 
not,  however,  been  deemed  necessary  in  the 
following  pages  to  give  directions  for  any  of 
these  simple  articles,  as,  when  the  crochet 
stitch  is  acquired,  the  modes  of  working  such, 
and  a  variety  of  others,  in  daily  use,  will  rea- 
dily present  themselves.  As  an  example  of  the 
double  appropriation,  which  almost  all  the  fol- 
lowing directions  admit  of,  we  may  instance 
the  bottom  of  a  bag ; — this,  if  commenced  with 
a  chain  of  about  fifty  stitches  (not  joining  the 
ends),  and  worked  in  coarse  wool,  with  a  large 
needle,  in  rows  backwards  and  forwards,  gra- 
dually increasing  with  a  seam  stitch,  will  form 
a  warm  and  comfortable  round  cape.  A  paper 
pattern,  the  size  of  any  desired  object,  can 
easily  be  cut, — and  the  making  a  stitch  at 
the  commencement,  or  the  decreasing:  in  the 

'  O 


12  MISS  LAMBERT'S 

middle,  or  the  end  of  a  row,  and  vice  versa, 
render  this  work  subservient  to  almost  any 
form. 

For  large  pieces  of  work,  when  wool  is  em- 
ployed, that  kind  denominated  fleecy,  either 
English  or  German,  is  generally  to  be  preferred. 
This  material,  of  a  six-thread  size,  with  an 
ivory  needle,  offers  the  easiest  kind  of  work 
with  which  we  are  acquainted.  It  may  be 
readily  learned,  and  has,  therefore,  been  much 
practised,  both  by  invalids,  and  by  persons 
whose  sight  either  needs  relief,  or  has  become 
impaired.  All  striped  patterns,  if  desired,  may 
be  worked  in  narrow  breadths,  and  joined  in 
the  dividing  lines ;  so  that  a  table  cover  may 
be  made  in  four  or  six  lengths,  and  afterwards 
sewn  together  with  wool,  without  the  least  de- 
triment to  its  appearance.  Crochet  may  be 
executed  with  coarse  and  fine  chenille,  for  pil- 
lows, bags,  caps,  and  waistcoats  ;  with  crochet 
silk,  for  caps,  slippers,  and  bags ;  with  coarse 


CROCHET  SAMPLER.  13 

netting  silk,  it  forms  strong  purses,  bags,  and 
slippers ;  and  the  most  delicate  work  may  be 
done  with  the  finer  silks.  Gold  and  silver 
cord,  and  passing,  may  be  intermixed  with  the 
chenilles  and  silks,  or  employed  separately ; 
and  gold  and  steel  beads,  first  strung  on  the 
silk,  may  be  worked  in  various  patterns,  so  as 
to  produce  the  most  rich  and  beautiful  effect. 

Crochet  may  be  divided  into  plain  single 
crochet,  plain  double  crochet,  plain  stitch  open 
crochet,  and  open  crochet  with  one,  two,  three, 
or  more  stitches.  These  varieties  will  be  de- 
scribed, as  they  occur,  in  the  following  direc- 
tions for  working. 

The  mode  of  working  the  crochet  stitch, 
although  in  itself  most  simple,  is  difficult  to 
describe  in  writing ;  but,  with  the  aid  of  the 
annexed  engraving,  which  shows  the  position 
of  the  hands,  and  the  manner  in  which  the 
needle  and  the  work  should  be  held,  we  will 
endeavour  to  explain  the  elementary  process.

MISS  LAMBERT'S 


Having  wound  a  skein  of  wool,  make  a  loop 
at  one  end  ;  through  this  loop  draw  another 
loop,  through  this  second  loop  another,  and  so 
on,  moderately  tightening  each,  as  it  is  drawn 
through,  until  a  chain  of  sufficient  length  be 
made  to  serve  as  the  foundation  for  the  article 
intended  to  be  worked.  Pass  the  needle 
through  the  last  loop  of  this  foundation,  and 
catching  the  wool,  draw  it  through,  repeating 
the  same  at  every  successive  loop  ;  then,  return 
along  this  row,  and,  in  a  similar  manner,  form 
a  second.  A  repetition  of  this  process,  alter- 
nately backwards  and  forwards,  from  right  to 


CROCHET  SAMPLER.  15 

left,  and  from  left  to  right,  will  give  the  first 
and  easiest  lesson.  The  work  will  be  the  same 
on  both  sides,  producing,  by  turns,  one  raised 
and  one  sunken  row. 

Before  proceeding  further,  however,  it  will, 
be  necessary,  for  the  better  understanding  of 
the  directions  hereafter  offered,  to  give  an

THE  CROCHET  NEEDLE. 


A  chain, — the  foundation,  formed  by  a  suc- 
cession of  loops  drawn  one  through  the  other. 

Plain  single  crochet, — where  one  loop  only 
is  made  on  the  needle,  and  drawn  through 
each  stitch.  It  is  lighter  and  thinner  than 
double  crochet. 

Plain  double  crochet, — where  two  loops 
are  kept  on  the  needle,  and  the  wool  drawn 


16  MISS  LAMBERT'S 


through  both  before  the  stitch  is  finished.  This 
is  the  crochet  stitch  generally  practised,  and 
that  used  for  working  table-covers,  etc. 

Double  stitch  crochet, — in  this,  both  meshes 
of  the  chain  are  taken.  It  is  principally  em- 
ployed for  the  soles  of  shoes,  and  where  extra 
thickness  is  required,  but  it  is  not  suitable  for 
working  patterns. 

Plain  stitch  elastic  crochet, — is  worked  alter- 
nately in  rows  backwards  and  forwards,  from 
right  to  left  and  from  left  to  right,  always  tak- 
ing the  under  mesh  of  the  chain. 

PLAIN    STITCH    OPEN   CROCHET. 


No.  1. 

Plain  stitch  open  crochet, — is  composed  of 
chains,  of  five  stitches  each  in  length,  forming 
loops,  each  fifth  stitch  being  crocheted  to  the 


CROCHET  SAMPLER.  17 

centre  stitch  of  the  corresponding  loop  in  the 
preceding  row,  as  shown  in  the  engraving.  It 
is  mostly  used  for  purses. 


OPEN  CROCHET. 


•••••••• HIM 


No.  2. 


Open  crochet — is  worked  (as  nearly  as  can 
be  described)  as  follows  : — make  a  chain  of  the 
length  required ;  work  one  plain  stitch  at  the 
beginning.  Bring  the  silk  round  the  needle, 
and  pass  the  needle  through  the  first  loop  of 
the  chain ;  through  this  bring  the  silk,  which 
makes  three  stitches  on  the  needle  ;  draw  the 
silk  through  the  first  two  stitches,  which  leaves 
two  on  the  needle ;  then  draw  the  silk  through 
these  two,  which  leaves  one  on  the  needle  ; 
through  this  one,  make  one  plain  stitch.  Put 


18  MISS  LAMBERT'S 


the  silk  over  the  needle,  and  bring  it  through 
the  third  loop  of  the  chain  ;  the  three  stitches, 
as  before,  will  now  be  found  on  the  needle  ; 
draw  the  silk  through  the  first  two,  which  leaves 
two  on  the  needle  ;  draw  the  silk  through  these 
two,  which  finishes  the  stitch,  and  leaves  one 
upon  the  needle  as  before.  The  plain  stitch 
that  is  then  made  between  the  two  double 
stitches,  allows  for  the  stitch  which  was  passed 
in  the  chain,  and  leaves  an  open  space.  It  is 
suitable  for  purses,  bags,  etc. 


DOUBLE  OPEN  CHOCHET. 


No.  3. 


Double  open  crochet, — similar  to  the  open 
crochet  stitch,  but  varied  by  making  the  two 


CROCHET  SAMPLER.  19 

long  stitches  together ;  this  is  done  by  omit- 
ting the  single  stitch,  and  passing  the  needle 
through  the  next  loop  of  the  chain,  instead  of 
missing  one  stitch  ;  thus  producing  two  stitches 
together,  and  then  an  open  space.  It  is  suit- 
able for  bags,  purses,  &c.  . 


TREBLE  OPEN  CROCHET. 


No.  4. 


Treble  open  crochet, — also  similar  to  the  pre- 
ceding, but  varied  by  making  three  stitches 
successively,  without  making  any  plain  stitch, 
which  produces  alternate  squares  of  open  space 
and  stitches.  Beads  may  be  introduced  on  it 
with  very  good  effect  in  the  following  manner : 
— let  the  beads  be  threaded  on  the  silk,  and 
pass  one  on  the  middle  stitch  of  the  three 


20  MISS  LAMBERT'S 


double  stitches,  giving  a  bead  in  the  centre  of 
each  square.  This  stitch  makes  a  very  pretty 
purse. 

To  make  a  stitch, — at  the  commencement 
and  end  of  a  row,  is  to  make  one  stitch  of  a 
chain  before  the  first  stitch,  and  after  the  last, 
which  in  the  next  row  are  to  be  crocheted. 

A  dividing,  or  seam  stitch, — called  also  a 
raised  stitch,  is  made  by  putting  the  needle 
through  both  meshes  of  the  chain,  and  working 
two  stitches  in  the  same  hole.  These  stitches 
must  always  be  made  exactly  over  each  other. 
In  crocheting  circles  they  form  a  kind  of  star 
pattern,  and  serve  the  purpose  of  increasing 
stitches.  They  should  not  be  employed  when 
working  with  chenille. 

To  increase  a  stitch, — to  make  two  stitches 
in  the  sai«e  loop. 

To  decrease, — to  take  two  stitches  together, 
or  to  miss  one  stitch.  Decreasing  is  always 
done  in  the  same  ratio  as  increasing. 


CROCHET  SAMPLER.  21 

True  or  perfect  stitch, — when  working  in 
different  colours,  the  keeping  the  stitches  di- 
rectly over  each  other,  without  any  appearance 
of  the  half-stitch.  This  requires  care,  but  it 
greatly  adds  to  the  beauty  of  the  work,  and 
makes  the  pattern  more  distinct. 

To  fasten  off, — to  draw  the  wool  through 
the  last  stitch. 

To  fasten  on, — lay  the  ends  of  the  wool 
contrariwise,  and  crochet  a  few  stitches  with 
both,  or  work  in  the  second  wool,  and  run  the 
end  in  with  a  needle  at  the  back  of  the  work. 

To  run  the  ends, — to  pass  them  down  a 
few  stitches  with  a  needle.  This  is  the  neatest 
and  strongest  plan  ;  but  they  may  be  tied  and 
cut  off. 

A  dividing  line, — generally  formed  of  two 
stitches  alternately  up  and  down, "-into  the 
ground  of  the  stripes  on  either  side. 

N.  B.  The  engravings  of  the  patterns  are 
placed  in  the  book  as  they  are  intended  to  be 


22  MISS  LAMBERT'S 


worked;  that  is,  by  commencing  at  the  lower 
part,  on  the  right  hand  side. 

f^fnts  on  Crochet. 

A  steel  crochet  needle  is  generally  advisable  ; 
— with  expert  workers,  it  makes  the  most  even 
stitches,  but  it  is  easier  to  work  with  an  ivory 
needle. 

The  second-sized  netting  silk  is  prettiest  for 
purses. 

The  coarsest,  or  crochet  silk,  is  best  adapted 
for  bags,  with  steel  or  gold  beads. 

Where  many  colours  are  required  in  a  pat- 
tern, and  the  same  do  not  very  frequently 
occur,  it  is  advisable  to  introduce  them  in 
short  lengths,  instead  of  carrying  on  each 
thread.  This  should  always  be  attended  to 
when  working  with  chenille. 

When  beads  are  used,  they  should  be  strung 
on  the  silk  with  a  needle. 


CROCHET  SAMPLER. 


When  beads  are  introduced,  the  wrong  side 
of  the  work  becomes  the  right.  It  is  possible 
to  crochet  with  the  beads  on  the  right  side, 
but  they  never  lay  so  firmly,  nor  indeed  is  it 
the  proper  way  of  using  them. 

The  average  number  of  stitches  for  the 
length  of  a  purse,  in  fine  silk,  is  one  hundred 
and  sixty.  In  coarse  silk,  —  one  hundred  and 
ten. 

From  ninety  to  one  hundred  stitches  form 
the  circle  of  a  purse  in  fine  silk. 

One  hundred  and  thirty  stitches  may  be 
taken  for  the  round  of  a  bag,  in  crochet  silk. 

A  table-cover,  in  six-thread  fleecy,  is  gene- 
rally computed  at  about  four  hundred  stitches 
in  length. 

Borders  of  flowers,  and  very  intricate  pat- 
terns, may  be  worked  in  crochet,  but  it  would 
be  impossible  to  convey  a  complete  idea  of  these 
even  to  the  most  experienced  worker,  without 
greatly  exceeding  the  limits  of  the  present 


24  MISS  LAMBERT'S 


work.  The  expert  needle-woman  will  soon  per- 
ceive the  best  method  of  copying  any  pattern  of 
this  description  she  may  desire. 

The  terms  chine  and  ombre,  are  frequently 
applied  to  the  materials  employed  in  crochet 
and  knitting.  Wool  and  silk  are  chine,  when 
two,  three,  or  more  different  colours  are  in- 
troduced, at  intervals,  on  one  thread,  in  the 
process  of  dying  ;  —  they  are  ombre,  when  one 
colour  only  is  similarly  employed,  but  which 
gradually  runs  from  the  lightest  to  the  darkest 
shade. 

N.  B.  In  the  directions  for  working  the  dif- 
ferent patterns  in  crochet,  it  must  be  borne  in 
mind,  that  unless  any  other  stitch  be  men- 
tioned, the  plain,  or  double  crochet  stitch,  is 
always  to  be  employed. 


&  Sofa  Jftllofo,  o 
This  is  merely  given  as  the  first  and  easiest 


CROCHET  SAMPLER.  25 

pattern  in  crochet,  for  the  purpose  of  teaching 
the  stitch. 

A  good-sized  ivory  or  steel  crochet  needle, 
with  six-thread  fleecy,  will  be  required.  In- 
stead of  working:  the  rows  backwards  and  for- 

o 

wards,  as  before  described,  begin  each  row 
Separately  at  the  same  end.  When  the  last 
stitch  of  each  row  is  finished,  draw  the  wool 
through,  and  cut  it  off,  leaving  an  end  of  two 
or  three  inches.  It  is  impossible  to  determine 
the  exact  number  of  stitches, — that  must  de- 
pend on  the  article,  and  its  required  size;  but 
with  this  description  of  wool,  half  a  yard  in 
length  will  generally  be  found  to  number  about 
sixty-five  stitches,  and  a  calculation  may  ac- 
cordingly be  made. 

First  stripe — one  row  black ;  one  row  white ; 
one  row  black. 

Second  stripe — one  row  dark  scarlet ;  one 
bright  scarlet ;  one  light  scarlet ; — reverse  the 
same,  to  form  a  shaded  stripe.

Third  stripe — the  same  as  the  first.

Zephyr,  or  double  German  wool. 

This  pattern  may  be  worked  according  to 
the  two  following  methods.  The  first  is  the 
easiest,  as  one  thread  of  wool  only  is  required 
to  be  carried  on  to  form  the  pattern. 

Commence  with  a  chain  and  one  row  of 
black.  Second  row — scarlet.  Third  row — 
straw  colour. 

Crochet  a  stripe,  consisting  of  seven  rows  of 
imperial  blue,  with  the  pattern  in  chine  wool — 
black,  white,  and  scarlet.

versed,— straw  colour,  scarlet,  and  black. 

Crochet  another  stripe  with  drab,  with  the 
pattern  in  chine  wool — blue,  black,  and  white. 

Commence  again  as  at  first. 

The  second  method  of  working  this  pattern 
is  as  follows, — having  the  plain  rows,  and  the 
ground  of  the  two  stripes  as  before.  Crochet 
the  figure  of  the  blue  stripe, — 

First  row — three  stitches  black. 

Second  row — three  stitches  claret ;  two 
black.

of  wool,  and  commencing  with  a  chain  of  about 
one  hundred  and  thirty  stitches,  with  No.  2 
Crochet  Silk.  It  is  a  very  easy  bag  to  work, 
and,  if  wished  to  be  more  elegant,  gold  may  be 
introduced.  This  pattern,  also,  with  the  same 
sized  silk,  will  make  a  very  pretty  crochet

This  pattern,  worked  with  six-thread  fleecy, 
will  be  found  very  easy  and  effective  for  a 
table  cover ;  using  a  steel  or  ivory  crochet 
needle,  according  to  the  fancy  of  the 
worker. 

The  same  pattern,  with  the  colours  as  above 
described  for  the  first  and  second  stripes,  with 
No.  1  Crochet  Silk,  will  make  an  extremely 
elegant  bag.  This  should  be  commenced  with 
a  chain  of  about  two  hundred  and  sixteen 
stitches,  united  at  the  two  ends,  whether  for 
a  round,  or  square  bag.  Gold  thread  may  be 
substituted  in  the  dividing  lines,  working  only 
one  plain  row,  instead  of  two,  as  in  the  en- 
graving. Five  of  the  narrow,  and  four  of  the 
wide  stripes,  will  form  a  bag  of  an  ordinary 
size. 

This  pattern  may  be  worked  beautifully 
with  chenille,  or  with  chenille  and  gold,  for  a 
variety  of  purposes.

This  completes  the  pattern,  which  consists 
of  the  same  sprig  repeated  in  different  colours, 
on  three  different  coloured  grounds.  It  will  be 
perceived  that  the  sprigs  run  in  a  diagonal 
direction  ;  and  the  commencement  of  the  first 
two  rows  of  the  fourth  stripe,  on  referring  to 
the  corresponding  part  of  the  previous  stripe, 
will  show  where  the  next  sprig  is  to  be  begun. 

If  worked  for  a  bag,  or  sac  de  voyage,  the 
pattern  should  be  commenced  from  the  bottom, 
thus  forming  a  border  at  the  lower  part ;  but  if 
a  pillow,  table  cover,  orcouvre-pied,  is  intended 
to  be  made, — first  crochet  two  plain  rows,  and 
then  commence  the  pattern  as  at  the  sixteenth

Raised,  or  ribbed  crochet  is  worked  in  rows 
from  right  to  left,  accord- 
ing to  the  ordinary  me- 
thod ;  but  the  side  of  the 
work  is  reversed  at  every 
alternate  row,  as  in  plain 
crochet  (see  page  14), 
hence  it  becomes  the 
same  as  that  description 
of  work,  with  this  ex- 
ception, that  the  back, 
or  under  stitch,  is  always 
to  be  taken;  it  has  there- 
fore a  ribbed  or  raised 
appearance,  and  is  ren- 
dered thicker  and  closer, 
and  of  a  more  elastic 
texture.

ing  in  raised  crochet.  The  colour,  forming  the 
pattern,  should  only  be  introduced  when  neces- 
sary, and  should  not  be  carried  on  through  the 
ground,  as  in  plain  double  crochet  ;  therefore, 
the  same  thread  must  be  taken  up  and  dropt, 
as  the  form  of  the  pattern  may  require  —  a 
process  by  no  means  difficult.  When  neces- 
sary, however,  the  idle  wool  should  be  carried 
through  the  stitches  of  that  in  use,  and  not  left 
loose  at  the  back. 

The  pattern  here  given  is  intended  to  be 
worked  in  stripes  ;  these  are  afterwards  to  be 
sewn  together.  It  is  very  handsome  for  quilts, 
couvre-pieds,  &c.  The  colours  may  be  varied, 
thus  —  first  stripe,  white,  with  the  pattern  in 
scarlet;  the  second,  scarlet,  with  the  pattern

purposes,  where  a  border  on  each  side  may  be 
required.  It  may  be  worked  either  in  plain 
double  crochet,  or  in  raised  crochet.  A  differ- 
ent material,  together  with  a  different  sized 
needle,  are  the  only  requisites  to  adapt  it  to 
any  of  the  above  purposes.  Thus, — 

For  a  sofa  pillow,  eight-thread  zephyr  fleecy  ; 
for  a  tidy,  three-thread  fleecy ;  for  a  window 
mat,  eight-thread  common  fleecy ;  for  a  flower 
mat,  German  or  English  wool ;  for  a  cradle 
quilt,  eight-thread  zephyr  fleecy ;  for  a  bed 
quilt,  six-thread  fleecy ;  for  a  d'oyley,  rather 
fine  knitting  cotton.  The  size  of  the  article, 
however,  must  in  the  first  instance  be  deter- 
mined, and  the  number  of  stitches  counted,  so 
as  to  bring  in  the  pattern  as  suited  to  that  size. 
The  simplest  colouring  will  be  the  most  effec- 
tive,— a  plain  ground,  with  the  pattern  in  any 
bright  colour.  Designs  of  this  description, 
which  require  calculation  and  constant  count-

(in  order  to  keep  the  circle  flat),  every  other 
stitch  is  to  be  made  a  seam  or  dividing  stitch, 
which  is  done  by  putting  the  needle  under  both

in  the  same  place,  every  other  stitch  being  a

stitches  between  each,  instead  of  one.  Repeat 
this  circle  sixteen  times,  always  observing  to

seam  stitch  exactly  over  the  last,  which  will 
leave  two  plain  stitches  between,  instead  of 
one  ;  this  is  to  be  repeated  until  eight  circles 
are  formed,  every  plain  stitch  having  a  bead 
on  it.  Crochet  eight  rows  more,  leaving  the 
seam-stitch  in  the  same  place,  but  diminish  the 
number  of  beads,  by  leaving  out  one  bead  in 
each  division  on  each  successive  circle,  so  that 
the  last  row  will  have  but  one  bead  in  each  di- 
vision. Then,  crochet  four  plain  rows,  keeping 
the  seam-stitch  in  the  same  place  as  before, 
then  one  plain  row  all  round,  without  a  seam-

mixed  with  either  blue,  violet,  scarlet,  or  green, 
in  an  equal  number  of  shades.

Commence  with  a  chain  of  two  hundred  and 
forty  stitches  in  fine  netting  silk; — work  two 
plain  rows  of  open  crochet,  and  join  them 
together  at  both  their  edges  :  this  will  form 
a  pretty  finish  for  the  bottom  of  the  bag. 
Crochet  one  plain  row  of  black. 


The  above  pattern  is  now  to  be  worked. — 
Commence  with  the  gold,  to  form  a  half  row  of 
diamonds,  by  crocheting  one  plain  row.  In  the 
next  row, — three  stitches  gold,  one  black, — al- 
ternately ; — in  the  next  row, — one  stitch  gold, 
three  black, — alternately.  The  next  row  is 
black, — forming  the  centre  row,  of  the  first 
perfect  row  of  diamonds. 

The  next  row  of  diamonds, — formed  of  the

darkest  shade  of  ecru,  is  commenced  as  the 
preceding,  —  one  stitch  ecru  ;  three  black  ;  in 
the  next  row,  —  three  stitches  ecru  ;  one  black. 

This  finishes  the  first  complete  row  of  dia- 
monds in  black.  The  next  row  is  plain  ecru, 
—  forming  the  centre  row  of  the  second  perfect 
row  of  diamonds.  The  third  row  of  diamonds 
is  to  be  a  middle  shade  of  ecru  ;  the  fourth  — 
the  lightest  shade  of  ecru. 

Repeat  one  row  of  diamonds  in  gold,  and 
commence  another  stripe  of  diamonds  with  any 
of  the  before-mentioned  colours,  beginning  with 
black  ;  then  the  darkest  shade  ;  then  the  mid- 
dle ;  and  lastly,  the  lightest. 

Repeat  the  one  row  of  diamonds  in  gold,  and 
commence  again  with  the  stripe  in  shades  of 
ecru.

Repeat  from  the  first  blue  stitch. 

Seventeenth  and  eighteenth  rows — claret, — 
without  increasing. 

o 

Nineteenth  row  —  claret, —  increasing  one 
stitch  on  every  thirty-third.  This  row  should 
contain  oue  hundred  and  thirty-six  stitches, 
when  the  bag  will  have  acquired  its  full  size, 
and  the  increasing  be  finished. 

The  next  three  rows  are  worked  in  four 
stitches  of  gold,  and  four  of  claret, — alternately. 


78  MISS  LAMBERT'S 


Then,  four  plain  rows,  viz. — one  of  gold ;  one 
of  black ;  one  of  white  ;  and  one  of  gold  ; — 
followed  by  one  row  of  blue,  and  one  row  of 
white,  in  double  open  crochet ;  then,  one  row 
of  gold,  one  row  of  black,  and  one  row  of  gold, 
in  plain  crochet.  Repeat  the  two  rows  of 
double  open  crochet, — the  first  in  blue,  the 
second  in  claret ; — also  the  one  row  of  gold  ; 
the  one  row  of  black ;  and  the  one  row  of  gold. 
Commence  again  with  the  rows  of  blue  and 
white,  in  double  open  crochet. 

There  should  be  four  divisions  of  double  open 
crochet,  the  bag  being  finished  with  the  black 
and  gold  stripe.

flat),  until  fourteen  rows  are  finished.     This 
forms  the  bottom  of  the  bag. 

Commence  a  Vandyke  pattern,  by  making 
one  stitch  of  gold  to  every  fifth  of  the  coloured 
ground,  in  the  first  row.  In  the  next  row 
three  stitches  of  gold,  and  three  of  the  ground  ; 
in  the  next,  five  of  the  gold,  and  one  of  the 
ground.  The  two  next  rows  are  to  be  plain — 
the  first  of  gold,  the  second  of  black. 

Work  two  rows  of  open  crochet,— the  one  in 
scarlet,  the  other  in  blue. 

The  two  rows  of  black,  with  one  row  of  gold 
between,  are  then  to  be  worked  in  plain  cro- 
chet ;  followed  by  two  rows  of  open  crochet, — 
the  first  white,  the  second  blue.  Repeat  the 
two  rows  of  black,  with  the  gold  between,  and 
the  two  rows  of  open  crochet, — alternately,  to 
complete  the  bag. 

About  sixteen  skeins  of  chenille,  and

in  Crochet  Stlft. 

Commence  at  the  top  with  a  chain  of  four- 
teen stitches,  unite  the  ends,  and  crochet  one 
plain  row.  In  the  next  row,  make  a  raised  or 
dividing  line  on  every  other  stitch,  as  for  the 
bottoms  of  bags.  The  increasing  must  be  con- 
tinued until  the  diameter  of  the  circle  is  about 
six  inches  and  a  half.  Work  round  this,  in 
plain  rows,  until  the  cap  be  sufficiently  deep; 
occasional  increasing  stitches  may  be  made,  if 
it  be  not  large  enough. 

The  cap  should  be  finished  with  a  double 
gold  braid,  —  meeting  the  points  of  the  in- 
creasing lines  :  a  gold  band  round  the  bottom, 
and  a  handsome  tassel  at  the  top  may  be  added  ; 
or  in  the  place  of  these,  silk  trimmings  may  be 
substituted.  It  requires  to  be  very  neatly  made 
up  in  the  inside.

number  of  stitches  in  each  row  to  keep  the  work 
flat,)  until  it  be  about  eight  inches  in  diameter. 
The  sides  may  be  worked  in  open  crochet,  in- 
troducing a  few  plain  lines  of  black  and  gold 
between  each  two  rows  of  the  open  crochet. 

The  best  colours  for  a  cap  in  chenille  are 
black  and  gold  ;  —  dark  blue,  black,  and  gold  ; 
—  and  claret,  black,  and  gold. 


Commence  with  a  chain  of  about  six  stitches 
in  plain  green  netting  silk  ;  crochet  both  ends 
together  ;  work  three  plain  rows  of  green,  and 
then  one  row  of  alternate  stitches  of  dark  scar- 
let and  green. 

The  scarlet  silk  will  now  form  the  ground,  on 
which  the  star  pattern  of  green  is  to  be  worked. 
Crochet  a  row  with  two  stitches  of  green,  and 
two  of  scarlet,  alternately  ;  in  the  next  row,

two  of  scarlet  and  three  of  green.  Crochet,  in 
a  similar  manner,  one  row  after  another,  in- 
creasing on  each  row  one  stitch  in  the  green 
pattern,  every  time  that  colour  is  repeated, 
until  it  counts  seven  stitches  in  each  division  ; 
taking  care  to  keep  the  two  scarlet  stitches  of 
the  ground  exactly  over  each  other. 

The  pattern  is  now  to  be  decreased,  by 
working  four  stitches  of  scarlet  and  five  of 
green  ;  in  the  next  row,  —  seven  of  scarlet  and 
three  of  green  ;  and  in  the  next,  —  ten  of  scar- 
let and  one  of  green  ;  —  increasing  one  stitch  in 
each  division  of  the  ground. 

Work  two  plain  rows  of  scarlet,  increasing  a 
sufficient  number  of  stitches  to  keep  the  work 
flat,  and  finish  with  a  kind  of  fringe,  formed  by 
two  rows  of  open  crochet  in  green. 


The  chain  is  made  by  commencing  with  five 
plain  stitches,  then  putting  the  needle  through 


CROCHET  SAMPLER.  83 

the  hack  of  the  second  stitch,  and  making  one 
plain  stitch.  It  will  be  found,  by  twisting  the 
chain  after  every  stitch,  that  one  stitch  appears 
to  go  across,*— this  is  the  stitch  that  is  always 
to  be  taken  and  crocheted. 


The  light-coloured  stripes  composing  this 
slipper,  are  alternately  buff  and  white  :  the 
dark  stripe  between  each  is  a  full  blue.  Each 
stripe  is  separated  by  a  dividing  line  of  black. 
The  colours  of  the  pattern  on  each  stripe,  are 
as  follow  : — 

Commence  at  the  toe  with  the  blue  stripe, — 
the  colours  of  the  pattern  being  claret,  gold 
colour,  and  scarlet.

The  second  stripe  is  buff, — the  colours  of  the 
pattern  being  dark  blue,  lilac,  scarlet,  and 
green. 


Repeat  the  blue  stripe. 

The  fourth  stripe  is  white, — the  colours  of 
the  pattern  being  "violet,  lilac,  green,  and 
scarlet. 

This  slipper  may  be  worked  in  crochet  silk, 
or  German  wool.  The  number  of  stripes  must 
depend  on  the  required  size  of  the  slipper.

The  above  pattern  is  intended  for  a  slipper, 
in  German  wool,  or  crochet  silk,  in  stripes, 
across  the  front,  continued  in  the  same  direction 
round  the  back.  The  colours  of  the  different 
stripes, — commencing  at  the  toe,  are  as  fol- 
low : — 

First  stripe — gold  colour ;  with  the  pattern 
composed  of  black,  green,  white,  bright  scarlet, 
and  black. 


86  MISS  LAMBERT'S 


Second  stripe — blue ;  the  pattern  in  scarlet, 
black,  gold  colour,  white,  and  claret. 

Third  stripe — (the  centre  of  the  engraving) 
scarlet ;  this  stripe  is  wider  than  any  other  on 
the  slipper.  The  pattern  on  it  is  composed  of 
light  green,  dark  green,  black,  light  blue,  and 
gold  colour,  dark  blue  and  claret,  black,  gold 
colour  and  lilac,  white  and  dark  lilac,  light 
green,  and  dark  green. 

Fourth  stripe — white ;  the  pattern  in  blue, 
yellow,  lilac,  green,  and  scarlet. 

The  narrow  stripes  are  repeated  round  the 
back  of  the  slipper  ;  they  are  gold  colour,  blue, 
scarlet,  white,  and  green. 

For  a  moderate-sized  gentleman's  slipper  in 
crochet  silk,  the  toe  might  be  commenced  with 
twenty-four  stitches,  and  increased  in  the  suc- 
ceeding rows,  until  the  width  across  the  instep 
were  eighty  stitches, — but,  as  some  persons 
work  so  much  tighter  than  others,  a  positive 
number  cannot  be  given.  The  silk  also  may 


CROCHET  SAMPLER.  87 

vary  in  size,  as  well  as  the  dimensions  required 
for  a  slipper.  The  increasing  is  made  by  the 
addition  of  a  stitch  on  each  side  of  the  work. 

The  stripes  in  the  front  of  the  slipper  are 
gold  colour,  blue,  scarlet,  and  white  ;  the  latter 
crosses  the  instep.  Count  the  number  of  stitches 
on  the  white  stripe,  and,  with  the  gold  colour 
commence  a  stripe  one  third  of  its  length  on 
one  side,  to  form  the  back.  Continue  these 
stripes,  until  the  back  be  sufficiently  long  to  be 
sewn  to  the  front  on  the  other  side.  It  is  ad- 
visable, before  commencing  a  slipper,  to  cut  a 
paper  pattern  of  the  desired  size  and  shape. 

The  above  form  chaussons  to  wear  over  the 
shoes,  the  sole  being  formed  of  coarse  crochet 
in  black ;  or  they  may  be  made  up  in  the  usual 
way  for  slippers,  either  for  ladies  or  gentlemen. 
In  crochet  silk  they  are  extremely  warm  and 
durable. — The  ends  of  the  wool  or  silk,  are 
to  be  threaded  with  a  needle,  and  run  into  the 
work  on  the  inside.

&  Purse. 

Plain  crochet-purses  are  exceedingly  strong, 
and  may  be  made  very  prettily  with  a  moderate 
sized  netting  silk.  Those,  worked  in  rows  the 
length  of  the  purse,  are  the  most  easily  made. 

Make  a  chain  in  scarlet  netting  silk  of  one 
hundred  and  forty  stitches,  on  which  crochet 
three  plain  rows  with  the  samp  colour.  Then,, 
five  plain  rows  in  shades  of  green,  or  stone 
colour.  These  two  stripes  are  to  be  <  repeated 
until  the  purse  is  of  a  sufficient  width.  When 
completed,  it  is  to  be  neatly  sewn  up,  or  joined 
by  crocheting  the  two  sides  together.  The 
ends  are  then  to  be  drawn  up,  and  the  purse 
trimmed.

Commence  with  a  chain  of  fourteen  stitches, 
and  joining  both  ends  together,  crochet  one 


CROCHET  SAMPLER.  89 

plain  row  all  round.  In  the  next  row,  every 
alternate  stitch  is  to  be  made  a  dividing  or 
seam-stitch  ;  this  is  done  by  passing  the  needle 
under  both  the  corresponding  loops  in  the  first 
row,  and  making  two  stitches  in  the  same  place. 
This  dividing  stitch  is  to  be  repeated  in  the 
same  place  on  each  row,  until  ten  rows  are 
worked  ;  when  a  sufficient  number  of  plain 
rows  are  to  be  crocheted  according  to  the  length 
of  the  purse,  until  the  side  opening  commences. 

The  opening  of  the  purse  is  made  by  croch- 
eting plain  rows,  alternately,  from  right  to  left, 
and  from  left  to  right.  When  a  sufficient  num- 
bet  of  these  are  done  :  — 

The  plain  rows  are  again  to  be  worked,  to 
correspond  with  the  former  part  ;  but,  instead 
of  the  round  end,  it  is  to  be  left  square,  and 
sewn  up,  with  a  tassel  at  either  corner.

one  hundred  and  seventy  stitches  ; ^to  the  last 
stitch  of  this,  crochet  a  short  chain  of  five 
stitches,  the  last  of  which  is  again  to  be  croch- 
eted to  the  fifth  stitch  of  the  chain :  repeat  this 
on  the  whole  length  of  the  foundation ;  and 
return  along  the  row  in  the  same  way,  by  at- 
taching every  fifth  stitch  to  the  centre  stitch  of 
each  loop  of  the  last  row.  The  whole  of  the 
purse  is  to  be  continued  in  the  same  manner, 
but  it  may  be  varied,  according  to  taste,  by 
using  two  or  more  colours.  When  the  purse  is 
worked  to  the  size  desired,  cut  a  piece  of  stiff 
cardboard,  and  sew  the  purse  firmly  to  it, — the 
wrong  side  outwards ;  then,  damp  it  with 
water,  and  allow  it  to  remain  until  dry.  This 
process  will  stretch  the  purse,  tighten  the 
stitches,  and  bring  them  all  into  their  proper 
places.  Then,  having  sewn  or  crocheted  up 
the  sides,  draw  up  the  ends  and  put  on  the 
trimmings. — This  purse  should  only  be  made 
with  fine  silk.

inches  in  diameter  be  formed.  On  this,  work 
plain  rows  until  the  purse  be  about  three  inches

Spiral  crochet  may  be  varied  by  working

It  is  impossible  to  give  the  exact  number  of 
stitches  for  the  commencement  of  a  chanceliere, 
as  each  row  varies ;  it  is  advisable,  therefore, 
to  cut  the  shape*  in  stiff  paper,  as  a  pattern, — 
first  of  the  top,  and  then  of  the  border.  In 
those  parts  where  it  is  requisite  to  increase 


104

the  width  of  the  work,  it  should  be  done  by 
making  an  extra  stitch  on  each  side.  The 
stitches  of  the  border  are  to  be  worked  in  a 
contrary  direction  to  those  of  the  top,  as  shown 
in  the  preceding  engraving. — The  following 
pattern  will  be  found  suitable  for  a  chancehere. 


Mo.  33. 


Commence  at  the  toe,  by  working  two  plain 


CROCHET  SAMPLER.  105 

rows  of  ground  in  scarlet,  and  crochet  the 
centre  stripe  of  the  annexed  pattern  in  rich 
green,  on  the  same  coloured  ground. 

The  ground  of  the  next  stripe  is  black,  on 
which  the  pattern  is  to  be  worked  in  three 
shades  of  gold  colour. 

Work  a  plain  row  of  middle  blue,  which  also 
forms  the  ground  of  the  small  chain  pattern, 
with  the  exception  of  the  centre  row,  which  is 
claret.  The  chain  is  in  white. 

Work  a  plain  row  of  claret,  and  then  repeat 
the  second  stripe  as  before,  with  the  colours  re- 
versed. 

The  above  colours,  if  well  chosen,  are  ex- 
ceedingly pretty,  but  they  may  be  varied  ac- 
cording to  fancy. 

The  slipper  pattern  No.  23,  and  also  the 
Turkish  pattern  No.  12,  are  equally  adapted 
for  a  chancel iere. 

The  chanceliere  should  be  made  up  on  a 
very  firm  foundation,  and  stuffed  between  the 


106  MISS  LAMBERT'S 

lining  and  the  work  with  wool :  the  inside 
should  be  made  separate,  and  knitted  in  the 
brioche  stitch,  with  six  or  eight  thread  fleecy. 
The  ermine  ruff,  or  trimming,  of  worsted,  may 
easily  be  procured,  but  if  it  cannot  readily  be 
so,  a  thick  knitted  fringe,  three  or  four  times 
doubled,  will  be  a  good  substitute.  The  bot- 
tom is  formed  of  leather  or  cloth

The  annexed  pattern  is  adapted  for  any 
square  requiring  a  border,  such  as  a  table 
cover,  mat,  quilt,  sofa  cushion,  couvre-pied, 
etc.  To  render  it  easy,  the  centre  may  be 
worked  in  the  same  colours  as  the  border, 
introducing  any  spot,  sprig,  or  other  small  pat- 
tern,— the  same  colours  being  carried  through 
the  whole,  or  slipped  at  the  back.  If,  how- 
ever, the  plan  of  introducing  ihe  colour  only 
in  the  pattern  be  understood,  it  may  here  be 
employed  with  advantage.

the  same  time. 

Work  one  plain  row  of  white  between  the 
two  border  patterns. 

The  second  border  pattern  is  in  two  shades

Sixth  row — blue. 

Seventh  row — gold  colour. 


120  MISS  LAMBERT'S 

Eighth  row — yellow. 

This  pattern  requires  three  different  coloured 
wools  in  many  of  the  rows.  It  is  very  hand- 
some. The  side  border  may  be  crocheted  on. 

Six-thread  fleecy,  and  a  steel  needle,  should 
be  used. 


A  Brioche  (so  called  from  its  resemblance 
in  shape  to  the  well  known  French  cake  of 
that  name),  may  be  as  easily  worked  in  crochet 
as  in  knitting.  It  may  also  be  divided  into 
stripes  or  compartments,  gradually  decreasing 
in  breadth  towards  the  top  or  centre  of  the 


CROCHET  SAMPLER.  121 

cushion,  in  the  same  manner  as  in  the  knitted 
brioche.  Various  patterns  may  be  introduced 
in  these  stripes,  but,  when  a  very  soft  cushion 
is  desired,  this  is  not  advisable,  as  the  extra 
wool,  then  required  to  be  carried  through  the 
work,  would  render  it  of  too  firm  a  texture. 

The  following  directions  for  working  a 
brioche  in  crochet  will  be  found  very  simple, 
and,  at  the  same  time,  serve  as  a  guide  for 
those  of  a  more  complicated  nature. 

Commence  with  a  chain  of  seventy  stitches 
in  eight-thread  zephyr  fleecy — black. 

First  row — black. 

Second  row — gold  colour. 

Third  row — black. 

The  above  three  rows  are  all  of  an  equal 
length.  Then,  crochet  fifteen  rows  in  any 
pretty  colour,  omitting  four  stitches  at  the 
end  of  the  first,  and  of  each  successive  row, 
so  that  in  the  last  of  these  fifteen  rows  there 
will  be  only  ten  stitches. 


122  MISS  LAMBERT'S 


Repeat  the  row  of  black,  taking  in  each  of 
the  four  stitches  omitted  at  the  ends  of  the 
last  fifteen  rows,  as  also  the  four  stitches  at 
the  top  of  the  last  row  of  black.  Crochet  one 
row  of  gold  colour,  and  one  row  of  black,  as  at 
the  commencement,  when  one  compartment 
of  the  brioche  will  be  completed,  forming  a 
conical  stripe. 

Repeat  the  fifteen  rows,  omitting  the  four 
stitches  at  the  end  of  each  row,  as  before  di- 
rected ;  and  continue  as  above  until  sixteen 
similar  compartments  are  worked  ;  this  will  be 
found  sufficient  for  an  ordinary-sized  brioche. 

The  colours  of  the  stripes  may  be  varied, 
thus, — blue,  brown,  scarlet,  and  stone  colour, 
in  their  order  of  succession,  repeated  four  times, 
will  form  a  very  pretty  contrast, — the  dividing 
stripe  between  each  being  formed  of  two  rows 
of  black,  with  a  row  of  gold  between  them. 
Either  chine  or  ombre  wool  may  also  be  em- 
ployed. 


CROCHET  SAMPLER.  123 

When  finished,  the  brioche  may  be  made  up 
either  entirely  soft,  or  with  a  stiff  bottom  of 
mill-board,  about  six  or  eight  inches  in  diame- 
ter, covered  with  cloth  or  velvet.  The  top 
should  be  drawn  together,  and  fastened  in  the 
centre,  either  with  "a  tuft  of  soft  wool,  or  with 
a  cord  and  tassels,  as  represented  in  the  pre-

but,  as  the  latter  should  form  the  outer  edge  at

In  the  fourth  row  the  pattern  commences 
with  two  colours,  the  wave  portion  of  the 


CROCHET  SAMPLER.  125 

pattern  being  in  dark  green  ;  with  the  bell  in 
a  lighter  shade  of  green  ;  the  ground,  ponceau : 
or,  the  pattern  may  be  worked  in  chine 
greens. 

Eight  rows  complete  the  pattern,  when  a 
plain  row  of  ponceau,  a  row  of  two  alternate 
stitches  of  ponceau  and  green,  and  a  plain  row 
of  green,  finish  the  stripe. 

Crochet  two  rows  of  treble  open  crochet  in 
gold  ;  and  commence  again  with  the  pattern  in 
silk. 

This  bag  when  completed  is  about  six  inches 
square ;  it  should  be  hemmed  at  the  top,  and 
lined,  and  finished  with  strings  and  tassels. 

The  pattern  No.  24,  is  also  equally  adapted 
for  a  bag  of  this  description  ;  but  in  the  centre 
of  the  work  the  pattern  should  be  reversed,  in 
order  that  when  the  two  sides  of  the  bag  are 
folded  together  the  pattern  may  run  in  the 
same  direction,  as  in  the  manner  described  for 
the  bag  at  page  113.

stitches  be  kept  exactly  over  each  other ;  when 
a  point  in  the  centre,  and  a  point  at  the  termi- 
nation of  each  line  of  dividing  stitches,  will  be 
formed.  The  remaining  part  of  the  bag  is  to  be 
worked  in  rounds,  until  it  be  of  sufficient  height.

The  two  circular  ends  should  be  worked 
first.  Commence  with  a  chain  of  six  stitches, 
in  black  four-thread  fleecy :  unite  both  ends, 
and  crochet  all  round,  increasing  on  every 
stitch  for  the  fast  row. 

The  pattern  is  then  to  be  worked  in  three 
shades  of  scarlet,  on  a  ground  composed  of  three 
shades  of  green  ;  the  darkest  shade  of  the  scar- 
let being  on  the  lightest  shade  of  the  green. 

Second  row — one  stitch   dark  scarlet     two

mencement of  a  star  of  six  points. 

Third  row — three  stitches  dark  scarlet ;  two 
light  green. — Repeat. 

Fourth  row — five  stitches  middle  scarlet ; 
two  light  green. — Repeat. 

Fifth  row — five  stitches  middle  scarlet ;  three 
middle  green. — Repeat. 

Sixth  row — three  stitches  light  scarlet ;  six 
middle  green. — Repeat. 

Seventh  row — one  stitch  light  scarlet ;  eight 
dark  green. — Repeat. 

Eighth  row — dark  green. 

Two  plain  rows  of  black  finish  the  end. 

N.  B.  In  every  row,  increasing  stitches  are 
to  be  made  in  the  green,  as  also  on  the  plain 
rows  of  black. 

Having  finished  the  two  ends,  make  a  chain 
of  about  sixteen  inches  in  length,  in  black ; 
and  work  the  other  part  of  the  bolster  as  fol- 
lows : — 


CROCHET  SAMPLER.  133 

First  row — black. 

Second  row — dark  green. 

Third  row — middle  green. 

Fourth  row — light  green. 

Fifth  row — white. 

Repeat  the  first  four  rows — reversed. 

Tenth  and  Eleventh  rows — scarlet. 

Twelfth  row — commence  a  pattern,  by  work- 
ing alternately  six  stitches  of  scarlet  and  four 
of  black. 

Thirteenth  row — seven  stitches  scarlet  (•)  ; 
four  yellow  ;  six  scarlet. — Repeat  from  (a). 

Fourteenth  row — six  stitches  scarlet ;  four 
black. — Repeat. 

Fifteenth  row — seven  stitches  scarlet ;  (b)  four 
light  green  ;  six  scarlet. — Repeat  from  (b). 

Sixteenth  and  Seventeenth  rows — scarlet. 

Commence  again  as  at  first  row ;  and  repeat, 
until  a  piece  be  worked  sufficiently  long  to  go 
easily  round  the  ends. 

The  bolster  should  be  made  up  by  stuffing 


134  MISS  LAMBERT'S 


it  with  down  or  soft  wool.  A  long  crochet 
band,  worked  similar  to  the  green  shaded 
stripe,  should  be  attached  to  either  end,  with  a 
small  worsted  tuft  in  the  centre,  by  way  of  or- 
nament. 

Bags,  worked  in  a  similar  manner  to  the 
above,  are  frequently  made ;  these,  however, 
are  not  required  to  be  so  long.  They  are 
fastened  at  the  opening  with  strings  or  buttons. 
They  may  be  made  with  eight-thread  zephyr 
fleecy. 

&  Sitter  fn  2£atsrtr  Crochet. 
Raised,  or  ribbed  crochet  has  already  been 
described  at  page  57.  To  work  a  slipper, 
commence  with  a  chain  of  seven  stitches,  and 
crochet  forty-six  rows  backwards  and  forwards, 
observing  to  make  three  stitches  in  one  loop 
in  the  centre  stitch  of  each  row.  This  will 
make  a  sufficient  increase  in  each  succeeding 
row  to  form  the  front  of  the  slipper,  and  at 


CROCHET  SAMPLER.  135 

the  same  time  cause  the  ribbed  rows  to  run  in 
an  uniform  diagonal  direction  on  either  side. 

Having  thus  completed  the  front  of  the  shoe, 
crochet,  on  the  right-hand  side,  a  row  of  twenty- 
six  stitches,  and  work  a  sufficient  number  of 
rows  (about  ninety)  to  form  the  back.  The 
end  of  this  band  is  then  to  be  sewn  to  the 
other  side  of  the  front. 

The  sole  of  the  slipper  may  be  made  either 
of  leather,  or  of  crochet  in  coarse  wool  ;  the 
latter  is  most  readily  made  by  cutting  the  shape 
in  stiff  paper,  and  then  working  it  to  the  exact 
size.  The  top  of  the  slipper  may  be  finished 
with  an  ermine  trimming  of  worsted. 


&  ?i>alf 

Commence  with  a  chain  of  nine    hundred 
stitches  in  black  eight-thread  zephyr  fleecy. 
First  row  —  black. 
Second  and  Third  rows  —  white. 


136  MISS  LAMBERT'S 


Crochet  eleven  rows,  alternately  with  black, 
and  any  pretty  chine  wool. 

Fourteenth  and  Fifteenth  rows — white. 

Sixteenth  and  Seventeenth  rows — green. 

Crochet  eleven  rows,  alternately  with  scarlet, 
and  any  bright  chine  wool. 

Twenty-ninth  and  Thirtieth  rows — green. 

Thirty-first  and  Thirty-second  rows — black. 

Crochet  eleven  rows,  alternately  with  white, 
and  a  chine  wool. 

Forty-fourth  and  Forty-fifth  rows — black. 

Forty-sixth  and  Forty-seventh  rows — red. 

Crochet  eleven  rows,  alternately  with  green, 
and  a  chine  wool. 

Fifty-ninth  and  Sixtieth  rows — scarlet. 

Repeat  from  second  row. 

By  omitting  a  stitch  in  the  centre  of  each 
row,  the  shawl  will  assume,  whilst  working,  a 
pointed  form,  similar  to  that  of  a  half  square, 
at  the  same  time  that  the  rows  of  crochet  will 
run  in  a  diagonal  direction  from  either  side  of

the  centre.  It  may  be  trimmed  with  a  black 
fringe  of  about  four  inches  deep  sewn  on  the 
two  sides. 

To  form  the  striped  pattern  as  above  di- 
rected, four  chine  wools,  of  different  colours, 
should  be  employed.

This  is  worked  with  German  wool,  in  open

Second  row — two  stitches  claret,  two  blue, 
alternately.

Fifteenth  row  —  blue. 

Sixteenth  row  —  two  stitches  claret,  two  blue, 
alternately. 

Seventeenth  row  —  claret. 

Repeat  from  first  row.  —  In  the  second  stripe 
of  the  pattern,  deep  gold  colour  should  be  used 
in  place  of  the  blue,  and  black  in  place  of  the 
claret  wool  ;  thus  working,  alternately,  a  stripe 
in  each  of  the  two  colours. 


ttorfcrr  for  a  SUntol. 

This  will  form  a  good  pine  pattern  for  the 
border  of  a  shawl,  in  German  wool  on  a  black 
ground. 

Commence  with  chain  and  first  row  —  deep 
gold  colour. 

Second  row  —  black.

Then  crochet  the  annexed  pine  on  a  black 
ground,  in  the  following  colours. 


No.  50. 


First  row — imperial  blue. 
Second  row — lighter  shade  of  blue. 
Third  row— deep  scarlet. 
Fourth  row — bright  scarlet. 
Fifth  row — dark  green. 
Sixth  row — middle  green. 
Seventh  row — dark  lilac. 
Eighth  row — light  lilac. 
Ninth  and  Tenth  rows— two  shades  of  stone 
colour. 

Eleventh  and  Twelfth  rows — two  shades  of 
blue. 


140  MISS  LAMBERT'S 


Thirteenth  and  Fourteenth  rows — two  shades 
of  scarlet. 

Then,  work  one  plain  row  of  black,  and  one 
plain  row  of  gold  colour. 

To  form  a  point,  if  it  be  intended  for  the 
border  of  a  half  square  shawl,  omit  a  stitch  in 
the  centre  of  each  row ; — this,  if  the  size  of 
the  shawl  has  been  determined  upon,  previously 
to  commencing  the  work,  may  easily  be  done 
without  interfering  with  the  pattern,  as  by  cal- 
culating the  number  of  stitches  required,  a 
greater  space  of  the  ground  where  the  stitches 
are  to  be  omitted  between  the  two  centre  pines 
may  be  allowed.  For  a  square  shawl,  the  bor- 
der, if  preferred,  may  be  worked  separately, 
and  afterwards  sewn  on.
